File Menu

Project Window Opens the Project Window, without closing the current project/file.
Gedcom File Tasks ► Perform tasks relating to standalone GEDCOM files (GEDCOM files that are not used to store data for a Family Historian project).
New Gedcom File Create a new GEDCOM file
Open Gedcom File Open a GEDCOM file
Save a Gedcom File Copy Makes a copy of the current GEDCOM file (can be used to copy the GEDCOM file which is used to store data in the current project - if any).
<Up to 9 file names> For convenience, lists (up to) the last 9 most recently used GEDCOM files. Click on a filename to re-open it.
Save Save changes to the current project/file.
Close Project Closes the current project. The Project Window will be redisplayed.
Merge/Compare File Open the Merge/Compare dialog to compare the current project or GEDCOM file with another project or GEDCOM file, and optionally merge the other file into the current file. Can be used either within the context of a project, or with standalone GEDCOM files.
Split Tree Helper Open the Split Tree Helper dialog. The Split Tree Helper dialog provides means of deleting a large number of records in the current project/file. It is often used to split a project into two smaller projects.  It can also be used for the situation in which you have made a copy of your main file (e.g. to send to someone else) and you wish to delete unwanted records from this copy. However, it can be used at any time to delete unwanted records. Use with care!
Validate Check the current project/file for any internal storage errors, and optionally fix any errors found. You will be automatically prompted to validate when opening any GEDCOM file that was not created by Family Historian.
File Statistics Show information about the current project.
Page Setup Configure print options relating to the active window. Is only available when the Diagram Window is active.
Print Print the current diagram, report, book, query or map (if you are viewing one of these).  If not, a dialog box will direct you to the Publishing Tools Finder.
Print Preview Shows you what the output would look like if you were to print now. Available when viewing the Diagram Window, the Report Window, the Book Window, the Query Window or the Map Window.
Print Setup Configure your current printer.
Import/Export ►

Open submenus to enable you to import or export any of the following:

GEDCOM file
File containing genealogy data in GEDCOM format.  When importing, the data will be merged (under your full supervision and control) into the current project.  When exporting, you will be presented with the Export Gedcom File Dialog which offers numerous options relating to the export.  You will be able to export all of your data, or a subset of it.  GEDCOM is the most commonly-used, standard format for genealogy data.
JSON File
Export only.  File containing core genealogy data (Individuals, Families and Media) in JSON format.  Some third party products may require that the data be supplied in this format.
Family Historian Project
Import only.  When importing, the data will be merged (under your full supervision and control) into the current project.
Other Family Tree File (instructions only)
Gives instructions on how to import other kinds of family tree file into a Family Historian project.
Family Historian Chart File
Chart files contain saved instances of diagrams.
Diagram Type
Diagram types are created when you save a diagram as a 'Custom Diagram Type'.
Diagram Text Scheme
Text schemes store specifications of the text content of boxes in a diagram.
Report Type
Report types are created when you save a report as a 'Custom Report Type'.
Query
Custom queries can be created on the Query Window.
Property Box Tab
The Property Box can be customized.  You can also import and export customizations created by others.
Accent Set
When you press-and-hold a letter or punctuation key in the Property Box or other data entry windows, a popup window, called the Popup Accent Window, appears with a choice of accent characters for that letter (or alternative punctuation marks if a punctuation mark).  This is fully configurable in the Configure Language and Accent Characters Dialog.  You can create your own accent sets, which can be shared (imported or exported). See Configure Language and Accent Characters Dialog for more information about accent sets.

Autotext
Opens the Manage Autotext Dialog, where autotext can be imported or exported.
Language Pack
Opens the Language Packs Dialog, where language packs can be imported or exported.
Fact Set
Fact sets are collections of fact type definitions.  They can be created on the Fact Types dialog, accessible from the Tools menu.

Source Template Collection
Source Template Collections are created and managed on the Source Template Definitions Dialog.  See the help page for that dialog to learn more.
Colour Scheme
You can change colors in most windows in Family Historian.  If you wish to preserve your colour preferences (for the whole application) you can export them as a 'Colour Scheme' file.  You can also import colour schemes created by others.  Imported colour schemes can be selected in the General tab of Preferences.
User Credentials
The ability to export and import user credentials is provided for users who wish to access their project files from more than one computer.  In this scenario, it is a good idea to export your user credentials from one PC, and then import them into the other PC.  That will ensure that your user credentials are the same on each PC.  User Credentials are primarily used as part of Internet Data Matching, and sharing user credentials across 2 PCs ensures that if you confirm or reject a match on one PC, it will still appear to be confirmed or rejected when viewed from the other PC.
Plugins
Plugins are 3rd-party extensions to the program.  They can be accessed from the Plugins Dialog.
Backup/Restore ►  
Small Backup (Gedcom File Only) Create a backup of your current GEDCOM file.  By default, backups are compressed (or 'zipped'). Use the Restore command to restore previously backed up files.
Medium Backup (Project File and Project Data SubfolderOnly) Creates a backup of the core files in your project folder, including amongst other things, the main data file (the GEDCOM file), and any media files stored in the project folder.  Any data stored in the Public subfolder within the project folder are, however, not included.  The data is backed up to a compressed ('zip') file. Use the Restore Backup command to restore previously backed up files.
Full Backup (Entire Project Folder) Create a backup of the entire project folder for the current project.  The data is backed up to a compressed ('zip') file. Use the Restore Backup command to restore previously backed up files.
Restore Backup Restore a previously backed up file (small, medium or full).
Revert to Snapshot Opens the Snapshot Manager which allows snapshots to be managed (and reverted to, if required).
Backup Options
 Displays the Backup tab in Preferences.
Exit Close the program.
